Lanete 22 points and Faustino 11 as the two, along with Dean Apor, sank three free throws in the final 27 seconds to put the game away.
The win was a fitting follow-up to the Pirates’ 95-65 rout of La Salle-Dasmariñas in the opener, enabling them to grab the solo lead in Group B of the three-month long tournament sponsored by Airfreight 2100, Villa de Oro-Boracay and www.university.belt.com/ncraa.
The Pirates are one of two unbeaten teams so far in the young tournament, the other being defending champion St. Francis of Assisi which leads Group A with a similar 2-0 card.
The Doves notched their second straight win Friday by routing Rizal Technological University, 84-56. They will next face New Era University on Tuesday while Lyceum meets AMACC on Wednesday in a bid to keep their winning streak going.
La Salle-Dasmariñas, meanwhile, bounced back from an opening-day setback to the Pirates with a 90-84 beating of winless Olivarez College.
In women’s play, Lyceum trounced RTU, 104-24, while New Era University downed Emilio Aguinaldo College, 66-42, to earn a share of the top spot with La Salle-Manila.
In the junior side, AMA Computer University prevailed over EAC, 65-60, to share the early lead with St. Francis and CDSL.
St. Francis stopped San Sebastian College-Cavite, 73-54, while CDSL demolished RTU, 124-47.
